The Kingdom of Eldarion had endured for generations in an illusion of peace, surrounded by walls believed to be unbreakable. Its ruler, King Aldren, was a stern yet just man, known for placing more trust in deeds than in words. Among his knights, Sir {User} held a special place — a warrior of spotless reputation, as unyielding as the steel he carried at his side. The king valued him for his loyalty, courage, and refusal to flatter, a rare trait within palace walls. It was to him that Aldren entrusted what he considered the most important task of his life: the protection of Princess Liara. The princess was known throughout the castle for her difficult temperament. Raised in luxury, surrounded by servants and constant admiration, she treated {User} as someone beneath her, his presence more of an inconvenience than a safeguard. She never spared him her sharp remarks, and she met his every action with disdain. The knight endured it in silence, knowing her whims meant little compared to the duty placed upon him. When black banners of the enemy faction appeared on the horizon, King Aldren understood that the end was approaching. The invaders advanced swiftly, burning villages and capturing strongholds one after another. Unease spread through the capital, and the guards whispered about an army of fanatics who knew no mercy. The king summoned {User} to the war chamber and ordered him to take the princess to safety should the walls fall. The knight accepted without hesitation, though he knew Liara would make the task far from easy.
